    For those of you running into lag outside of Cyrodiil, can you let us know exactly where you're seeing it? Is it a specific town, dungeon, etc.?

    Proposed solution.
    Everybody go buy 10 flaming horse mounts! That way ZOS will have enough moneys to buy back their initial servers form the pawn shop and maybe buy some more hamsters for power generation.

    I've been increasingly running into lag the last couple of days in Greenshade and Bangrokai.

    It's part of the game. As an added challenge, you can now be attacked for ten seconds before you can actually see the enemies on your screen.

    We had this problem on EU for a while after the server was moved from NA, somehow it got fixed. Could of course have been a different problem causing the same symptoms but I thought I'd mention it, or maybe it fixed itself as people stopped playing.

    And just to keep the tests going, I logged on with another toon and went to Malabar Tor. On leaving the wayshrine I could not use any abilities or weapon attacks. And after a minute of this gaming awesomeness, the game crashed. Again. Joy.

    Apologies for message spam - but decided to reset all the things including router and even fixing the client ... seems to have sorted everything out. Getting a steady 274 - 301 ping (which is average for Oz) so, that'll do, pig. That'll do. Now heading to Thornblade XD

    Deshaan, EU, fighting mobs which do the 'leap over your head' move, regularly see it and turn to hit the mob and 'miss', split second later the mob is back where they were when they jumped .. clearly my client thought the jump had happened and the server clearly didn't!

    Simply another sign that the mega-server tech isn't fit for purpose, we've not had too many problems in recent months due to the massive drop in player numbers, now a few have returned it's as bad as it was in the middle of last year before the great exodus.

    I tried doing the veteran pledge today (veteran Banished Cells) and had an ever worse experience than yesterday in veteran Darkshade Caverns.

    During the whole dungeon we were getting lag spikes, although it was doable. Then keeper Imarill (the one with the jumping orbs) decided to bug out and kept rolling in the same place for long periods of time and not spawning any adds. Still doable, although strange. And then we came to Rilis, and the lag fest really picked up:

    - Skills wouldn't fire off, or some would and others wouldn't;
    - Mobs and boss wouldn't take damage even when skills hit;
    - Mobs and boss would port around the room like crazy, making it nearly impossible to target them;
    - Boss' healing orbs would freeze in place and not take damage, sometimes they would float in random directions, including AWAY from boss;
    - I'd get the animation for being picked up in the orb, but remain on the ground and able to move around; after a few seconds I'd be pulled in the air (without the orb graphics) and back to the area where the orb should have picked me up.

    ZOS, this is NOT acceptable. The group gave up after 2 tries, it was unplayable. Get your act together or you'll bring down the game. @ZOS_GinaBruno please keep following this issue - we need it fixed YESTERDAY. It's bad already that many people (myself included) were driven away from PvP from the long-standing, unresolved issues. If PvE starts being affected as well, there is no saving the game.

    Today we played the Banished Cells daily twice... (European Server)

    Before 1:00 pm the instances were OK, barely any lag.

    The lag started around 1:30 pm - probably the time when most people login after lunch.

    Friday evening was horrible. Every group dungeon was laggy - a real stop motion.

    I sincerely hope that's not supposed to be next higher difficulty mode. O_o
    Because that one is not really fun.

    My FPS never spikes below 30 these days. My ping bounces between 70s (normal), and spikes of 999+. This happens in towns, trials, dungeons, walking through remote areas, everywhere, any time.

    If I could trade in 30 Undaunted Shoulders for one Undaunted shoulder, this wouldn't be much less an inconvenience.

    Relying on RNG wasn't enough for Zenimax Online, with zero other alternatives.

    I now need to rely on having group members for pugging gold keys to have the patience of an Aedra as we battle VR Dungeon mechanics as well as extreme lag.

    Like a tool, I thought it would be easier to do VR Darkshade today instead of yesterday. How wrong I was.

    I don't think they should('ve) take anything out of the game that helps with lag, I think they should spend some money and get better and/or more servers. Sometimes you just gotta fess up and say "hey, it didn't work and I need to admit it and fix it", at what ever the cost.

    I wish there was a group of computer geniuses that went around to different game companies, went inside and were allowed to take over for a day just to report on how well(or not) a company was running their product for their customers.

    I was going to get into the thing about having a megaserver makes it better to group with friends but my post would triple in size and I just woke up and not typing that much.

    Okay, this is getting to the point of unplayability. It's now so bad it's happening almost every fight, a mob will leap over me, I'll spend 2-3 secs hitting at it without connecting then suddenly the mob's back where it was when it did the leap.

    I just had a fight against 3 mobs where two did the leap and neither ended up where they were jumping to.

    EU Deshaan, latency is 65-100 so that's not a problem, something bad is happening on the server.

    That's right.
    No lag "spikes" for me in the big towns according to in-game pingmeter, but responce time is very large sometimes.

    Every day since Tamriel Unlimited in peak hours (EU server - 4 PM GMT+1, last i tried to do daily was today 10 PM, lag persists) lag in daily dungeons is unbearable.
    Skills take 15-40-infinity seconds to execute, mobs stand still. Lag affects whole party and mobs (they dont do damage while lagging).

    Lag affects other dungeons as well only not as much.

    Malabor Tol / Greenshade.... 50%+ of all NPC stop at 5% health for 10-15 seconds before death openworld.
    They take no damage at this time....and then die.
    Its like the server is conflicted on whether it actually should let the NPC die or not.
    Is there justice system code that could be affecting all NPCs ?
    Can they stack stack damge shield below 5% health :/ lol

    PVP is just unplayable with any opposition.

    EU server.
